[video/action if you're in mahogany town]

[Once again, it would seem like Doppio is staying at some kind of traditional-looking inn. There is some faint yipping and barking in the background before he starts talking.]

So... I've been curious about something. This is Scarabella...

[He holds up to the camera a pink-purpleish Heracross. It looks smaller than average, and veterans may notice there is something else that's unusual about its appearance.]

... She hatched just last week. I've seen some Heracross here and there, and when I did some looking into it, I kind of noticed there's something-- Ah, I don't mean the color! I know about Shiny Pokémon. But...

[If Doppio intended to use the PokéGear for something else, too bad, because Scarabella is now sucking on the bottom of the screen. Oh well. Also, is the barking getting louder?]

Uh, I guess you'll have to check your Pokédex if you don't know what I'm talking about, but it looks like male Heracross usually have a sort of branched horn, like a rhinoceros beetle, and female Heracross usually have what looks like a heart on the tip of their horn... But Scarabella's heart is upside-down. [Almost like...] Does that kind of thing happen a lot? I mean... differences that don't really show up on the Pokédex?

[Really, he just wants to know the odds that he'll be forced to hand in an ultra-rare specimen to Team Rocket. Scarabella is cute... It'd be a shame. Hey, that's some REALLY loud yipping--

A horde of Yamper rushes in through the window.

He is on the second floor.]


Oh yeah if you want one of these little guys you should come to Mahogany Town, there's a ton and they're everywhere, try catching a few, okay bye!

[... He'll be replying through text.]

[ She takes a moment to look up a Heracross, just so she can compare. ]

Oh wow, that's really cool! Shiny Pokemon are pretty rare, right?

Not long at all, really. I'm already in the town with the first warp. There's no real travel time, so... with a small break between warps to avoid any sickness, maybe fifteen minutes?

The Sharpedonado.
A tornado filled with Sharpedo.
Which could be caught normally unlike your Yamper, mind you.

Good point...

...Well, you could ask for someone to help I guess?

...I mean, I definitely have time.

[Romelle arrived as she said she would. She was mildly woozy, but nothing that would end up with her making a spectacle of herself... especially when she sees all the cute Yampers! How could anyone not feel better after seeing them with their cute stubby legs and lightning bolt tails! She squeaks in excitement.]

They're adorable!!

Me neither! I heard that people can breed shiny Pokemon, but there's still the chance that most Pokemon through breeding still won't turn out shiny.

It sure did.
Only once, thankfully. I don't think the coastal cities would have survived a second time.
